    Making Mag wheels tubeless

    Came out of work and found a 1 1/2 inch roofing nail in the rear tire on the Cooley. Had to have a buddy bring the truck and ramp to get it home. Decided this was the end of tubes in mag rims for me. Local bike shop didnt have any of the Bike Master bolt in cores I usually would use. . Went to Orielleys and got these, enlarged the valve hole a tad, little smear of Ultra Black RTV on the rubber washer surfaces and installed. Plugged the nail hole and done.

    I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

    Good move, I have been running tubeless for 6 years. Just inspect your tires and pressures often.
